Dear Family and Friends,

I just returned by night bus from Isabela (a night trip saves 2 hrs) and want to report another great time teaching and discipling enthusiastic students at the Bethany School of Church Planting (SOCP). An incident of cheating led to an opportunity to minister to two of the students, one whom confessed to fears and shame of getting low grades when she was previously attending public school. I was able to pray with her regarding her fears and have special reviews with her and a couple of others who struggled academically. By the end of the week we were all tracking together in the course and celebrated with a special meal to close out our time together. Pray for the SOCP that it can continue to attract and develop maturing ministers of the gospel.

Serving Christ With You, Steve & Alberta
